Now You See Me

Rating 6.5 out of 10

I have always like magicians.  Not in the way many do.  I like to try my best how to figure out how they do it.  Love a good showman.  With Now You See Me there is alot of entertaining show.  As with most magician shows you don't want to over think it (not easy for me) just sit back and enjoy the ride.

We get a good cast.  There are four premier magicians assembled with each having their own speciality.  The lead is Daniel (Jesse Eisenberg) who is your typical magician.  Merritt (Woody Harrelson) is more of the mind reader type.  Lovely Henley (Isla Fisher) puts on a big show and younger Jack (Dave Franco) specializes in card tricks.  When they pull of a series of impossible heists- breaking into a bank in Paris, France from Vegas- yet they give all the gains to the audience.

The FBI knows who is doing the heists they just can't prove it.  Head Agent Rhodes (played by the always good Mark Ruffalo) is out to break them.  Morgan Freeman plays Thaddeus Bradley who has made a living by outing magicians and telling their secrets.

This is a fun popcorn movie that will kill a couple hours.   I enjoyed it.
